This randomized clinical trial will occur at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur within 7 months after the approval of synopsis. The sample size for this trial will be 40 participants. Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be recruited by using the convenience sampling randomly allocated into two groups by computer generator method. 20 participants will be assigned to Group A receiving gaze stability exercises and 20 to the Group B receiving optokinetic exercises, both alongside routine physical therapy. Each group will undergo 5 weekly sessions of treatment for 4 weeks.The assessment tools include Dizziness Handicap Inventory for dizziness; Mini-BESTest and modified-Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction of Balance for balance assessment while Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale for daily activities.
This study will examine whether impairments and personal factors are associated with activity and participation in people with vestibulopathy. Data collection will occur prior to starting vestibular rehabilitation and after completing vestibular rehabilitation.
to study the videonystagmography response to a bone conducted vibration on the mastoid by B250 bone transducer in patients affected by vestibular loss, Menieres disease and Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome vs healthy control subjects
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises (VRE) and General Fitness Training (GFT) in adults diagnosed with vestibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does VRE lead to better improvements in gaze stabilization, balance, and gait than GFT? Does GFT lead to more improvements in overall fitness than VRE? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VRE or GFT group and will participate in 60-minute exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the improvements in the two groups to see which intervention is more effective.
The primary goal of the study is to examine the feasibility of accompanying vestibular practice supported by a phone app for vestibular rehabilitation. Feasibility will be established using the following parameters: (1) the User Satisfaction Evaluation Questionnaire (USEQ) (2) a custom-made questionnaire to collect feedback from participants, and (3) compliance measurements derived from app usage. The secondary goal of the study is to examine the effect of practice supported by the app on balance and anxiety indices. These will be measured using the following parameters: (1) Instrumented Timed Up and Go Test (iTUG), (2) Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), (3) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The third goal is to assess the correlation between balance function (iTUG) and anxiety (STAI). A randomized crossover pilot study will be conducted with 24 participants. During the study, each group will undergo two and a half weeks of conventional vestibular rehabilitation and two and a half weeks of app-supported vestibular rehabilitation. Measurement sessions will be conducted at three-time points: upon enrollment in the study (T0), after two and a half weeks (T1), and at the end of the study (T2).
The aim is to investigate the accuracy of manual diagnostics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by comparing it to BPPV diagnostics in mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair). VNG (videonystagmography) goggles will be used in both scenarios. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the importance of angulation and velocity in relation to the diagnostic outcome.
The goal of this within groups clinical trial is to determine the feasibility of a home-based vestibular balance therapy program for children with vestibular hypofunction. The main questions to be answered are: 1) what is the intervention's feasibility and 2) what is the intervention's preliminary impact on function? Participants will receive a comprehensive battery of vestibular function and balance tests, then an 8-week home-based intervention to be done 5 times/week with weekly checks from the physical therapist. Data will be used to design a larger clinical trial with a comparison group.
Falls during walking are common in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Fall risk can be attributed in part to the loss of automaticity in walking and an increased reliance on sensory cues, such as the input from the balance organ. In this project the investigators want to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation training aiming to improve this vestibular input. The effects of a visual perturbation training in a virtual reality environment will be compared to conventional treadmill training.
Although cochlear implants can restore hearing to individuals who have lost cochlear hair cell function, there is no widely available, adequately effective treatment for individuals suffering chronic imbalance, postural instability and unsteady vision due to bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Prior research has demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve via a chronically implanted multichannel vestibular implant can partially restore vestibular reflexes that normally maintain steady posture and vision; improve performance on objective measures of postural stability and gait; and improve patient-reported disability and health-related quality of life. This single-arm open-label study extends that research to evaluate outcomes for up to fifteen older adults (age 65-90 years at time of enrollment) with ototoxic or non-ototoxic bilateral vestibular hypofunction.
